According to reports IranTrump accused both of them of breaking the truce of a freshman. On Tuesday morning, the president imposed a thorough condemnation on both countries.

“We basically have two countries that have been fighting for so long that they don’t know what F- they are doing,” he told reporters.

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers have doubts about the deal after the ceasefire was announced, but are confident that the president’s negotiating power will ensure that a fragile truce will not be destroyed.

“I’m still full of hope,” the representative. Nancy MaysRS.C. Tell Fox News Digital. “I trust the President. He is right in everything, he is the only president who can bring Iran and Israel to the table in this way. So I hope and pray that this works and if it doesn’t, then we know that Trump will act decisively.”

Trump’s announcement followed a weekend strike, with the White House saying bombs destroyed Iran’s nuclear program. Last week, many lawmakers firmly expressed their support for Israel’s entire purpose in the bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic to ensure that Iran cannot manufacture or obtain atomic weapons.

senator Eric SchimittR-Mo. Tell Fox News Digital that Trump laid the foundations during Abraham Accords’ first term and recent visits to Saudi Arabia, which could help consolidate a lasting ceasefire between the two sides.

“All you can do is believe that because of the events that happened, I mean, Iran … their traditional weapons have been cut and their platforms have been cut,” he said. “Their nuclear program has been cut. So, they are on the table.”

But, he believes that under pressure from the United States and Israel, due to Trump’s willingness to use force – he said it was the president’s suggestion that he “means business.”

“I think they’re going to come to the table now and they’re in a very weak position, so that’s different, but their track record is very bad,” he said. “You can’t count on what they say. It goes back to Reagan’s trust, but it’s verified. Anything we negotiate with them has to be verified, and of course, that’s the way the government is going to take.”

However, even with a ceasefire, the Iranian regime remained unchanged. However, the shared sentiment among many lawmakers is that if regime change is made in Tehran, it must be up to the Iranian people, not the US government.

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, who is pushing his war power resolution to vote in the House of Lords, warned: “Do we really want to participate in another regime-changing war?

“We changed the Iranian regime by couping his prime minister in 1953,” Kane said. “This is one of the reasons why U.S.-Iran relations are so bad 70 years later. Do we really want to do this again?”

Indeed, the US-backed downfall of then-Prime Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh opened the door to control Iran. However, by 1979, the Islamic Revolution took place and took Pahavi from power and saw the birth of the current regime.

Retired Marines Representative Jack Bergman made a stance against regime change in a more concise way. “This is not our role.”

R-Mont. Senator Steve Daines praised the president’s actions over the weekend and said he believed the strikes had put the negotiations on a “generational” path of future peace and stability in the Middle East and Western worlds.

Nevertheless, he noted: “The change in regimes may break one or two ways, but it is worse than today.”

He continued: “I’m cautiously optimistic, but we’re not there yet.”

However, not every MP feels the same.

R-Mont. Rep. Ryan Zinke told Fox News Digital that he believes the United States should take a stronger stance when the Iranian regime changes its regime.

“I was the commander of the Navy SEALs and spent time there and buried a lot of friends,” he said. “While the attack was great and deceptive, and made statements, etc., I don’t think Iran would bend over. I think that would change the regime.”
